001. HOW TO START PLAYING
Here's step by step to play DreamLords - The Reawakening:
- Create DreamLords - The Reawakening Account

- Activate DreamLords - The Reawakening Account

- Install DreamLords - The Reawakening Game Client on your PC

- Play the DreamLords - The Reawakening Game Client

- Do the 1st Missions and The Masters Of The City Mission (see the Walkthrough Section about these missions), then after that you can access and play the DreamLords - The Reawakening Web Version to manage your Empire (Patria Management).

002. ABBREVIATION AT DREAMLORDS - THE REAWAKENING
- ANTECHAMBER
The antechamber stores items that you have received which don't fit in your stash. They will only be stored in the Antechamber for a short time or until the next item forces it out, so be sure to keep your stash in order and check the Antechamber often for loot and items. Items lost from the antechamber can never be reclaimed.

- DG: Duelling Grounds
Here you can fight other DreamLords in a rank PVP fight that will effect your Battle Rating. Duelling ground matching based on your rating. This rating (which you cannot see) depends upon how well you do in the DG. Everyone gets a certain starting value (modified only by number of eras played). When you win DG, you also be rewarded a trophy that can be used as ingredients or in Convergence Quest.

- DIVINE COMPOSITION
Mostly at your DreamLord gears, you can find information about Divine Composition. It tells you about how many days until the items will disappear. So, if you see information such as this: 30/30 it means that the item will disappear after 30 days since you've been use for the first time. All the item with Divine Composition can't be broken, so the good news is you never had to repair the item.

- ERA
Dreamlords The Reawakening uses an Era system, which means that the game world runs for aproximately 2 months and is then reset. Your Patria along with buildings, followers and resources vanish and everyone starts again anew with the dawn of a new Era. But your Dreamlord, Dreamlord gear, Tributes and traits remain untouched by the reversal of time.

- GNOSIS
Gnosis is the attention of the Dreamer, the creator of the world of Elysion. Everything in Elysion consists of gnosis. The more gnosis something consists of, the more focused the attention of the Dreamer will become, and the more powerful that subject will become. For a Dreamlord, gnosis means hope for the people of the Patria – hope for a brighter future, free from struggle and suffering – and therefore, by increasing your gnosis you will attract more people to you, and their presence in turn will make you stronger. As a Dreamlord, you can dissolve items and soul shards into gnosis via the Stockpile interface in either the Patria Manager or Army Headquarters.

- PATRIA
The Patria is where you and your people live. It's a floating island, and you are the very soul of it, and it's your purpose to vanquish the evils threatening your world and to protect your people.

- PVE: Player Versus Environment
Here you can fight monsters. In this game, you max PVE level is 50.

- PVP: Player Versus Player
Here you can fight another player

- SOUL SHARDS
Soul shards are concentrated physical shards of gnosis. They are used to build the basic buildings on your Patria, and are used as a currency on the player market. A dreamlord can dissolve items into soul shards via the Stockpile interface in either the Patria Manager or Army Headquarters. Note that by dissolving an item into soul shards causes some gnosis to spill out in the process. Dissolving an item directly into gnosis will always yield more gnosis than if you were to dissolve the item into soul shards first and then into gnosis. Gnosis can never be turned into soul shards, however.

- TRAITS
Traits are skills that a Dreamlord can learn, the traits can make your Dreamlord more powerful by either granting additional building slots, more power to grow your patria or simply greater strength in battle. Traits are the main progression of your Dreamlord, as your traits increase so does the power of the Dreamlord. Traits are not the only way in Dreamlords the Reawakening to progress but they are crucial for your Dreamlord. Some trait points are premium trait points; these points are only available through premium accounts. These points are unavailable to standard account players but can be unlocked with Tribute. FYI: Resetting your patria during an Era will cause you to lose your unspent trait points earned that Era.

- TRIBUTE
Tribute is your personal standing towards the Cynoses, the gods of the Dreamlords world. With Tribute, you can purchase items and gear for both your Dreamlord and your army in the Altar of Cynos (reached via the game client and the Army Headquarters screen). You can also speed up the process of turning depressed followers into useful workers, and turn non-followers into followers instantly, by paying Tribute to various Cynoses.

003. STARTING TIPS: PLACING WORKERS AT PATRIA MANAGEMENT WEB
First, maximize your workers at training ground (at least 35) to increase your expedition size (effect on how much armies you can bring into PVE) and research new type of army. Then do the same with Ministry Building to search for the Buildable Land Expansion so you can have more land to build houses.

004. STARTING TIPS: CREATING PRODUCTION BUILDING AT PATRIA MANAGEMENT WEB
Prioritize to build Lumber, Stone and Ore Production Building, because when you need to build a house in high level, you need those resources. And also when you upgrade your Production Building.

- More Buildable Land = More Buildable Land Expansion you must research at Ministry Building

- More Buildable Land Expansion = More Welfare Building you must research at Ministry Building

007. LEVELING YOUR DREAMLORD
This level is adjusted by your progression as a successful Emperor over Eras. DreamLord level increase with the numbers of followers you gain and provide with home.
